To the Church of Jesus Christ:
Meet your Apostles and Prophets that you should be "covered" under?

According to Peter Wagner and
thes prophets, God is establishing a new governmental structure for the
end-times.The current structure is obsolete. We must all come under their
authority.Are they your Apostles as
Apostle Paul was to the NT Church?

Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Bill
Hamon, Dutch Sheets, Barbara Wentroble, John Eckhardt. When being
challenged about his apostolic authority he mentioned the fact that he
had performed the "signs of a true apostle" among them (see 2 Cor. 12:12).
Paul worked signs, wonders, and mighty deeds among the Corinthians.

What signs, wonders, and mighty deeds do today's
so-called apostles perform? Holy laughter? Slaying people by a spirit?
Causing others to become intoxicated in spirit? Lay hands on folks and
have them make "prophetic" animal noises? Hardly in the same class as the
genuine miracles through Paul by the Holy Spirit. ...

An Ad states:

"13th Annual International
Gathering of the Apostles & Prophets"

They are you prophets and apostles
from God. You cannot be in the middle ground. They are telling us to choose.
We must choose! You must accept them or reject them. Will you follow them
or will you fight them.

Will these apostles and prophets
be able to perform some real signs and wonders this year instead of the
"usual" which are easily being performed in the occult religions and just
as easily manufactured by human methods of psychology?

Let's just hope that they stop
telling people that God is only capable of miracles that can be duplicated
by mere mortals. We must ask ourselves: How far has Peter Wagner gone?How much farther will he go?

This is what the ad and Peter
Wagner is telling us.

The Church is being prepared for the greatest awakening
in its history. This awakening will gather the world-wide harvest that
is on the horizon. To accomodate this next move. God is shifting and establishing
his governmental foundation. ... Now the Apostolic office is being renewed
and being established from nation to nation.

How interesting! As Larry
Randolph prophesized and Paul Cain performed,
it will only be a matter of time before these people start screaming out
to the world saying that "Christ is visiting a certain Church!" and many
will fly from all over the world to get a glimpse of christ as they did
already by flying to Toronto and Pensacola to get a glimpse of the spirit.
It reminds us of the Word from the True God as He claimed "See, I have
told you ahead of time."

"At that time if anyone says
to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it.
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs
and miracles to deceive even the elect -- if that were possible. See, I
have told you ahead of time." (Matthew 24:23-25)

What Benefit is the Prophetic Movement?

Why Not?

All the insights and revelations given by the restored
prophets we know of historically can be boiled down to simple "bless me"
statements or obvious generalized comments about the Church or world with
the usual "thus saith the Lord" tacked on to them.

For example, Ken Hagin is seen as a prophet - he
says he has personally seen, talked with, been taught by the risen Christ
- yet he has not one theological or doctrinal answer to any of the serious
issues facing the Church.

For all their swelling words and so called divine
revelations - these people add nothing genuine to the life of the Church.
Many of the people in these ad's are self-appointed, self-anointed, and
self-proclaimed. It is an interesting FACT that the Bible has more
warning(s) about themission of false prophets than any other demonic
counterfeit. Here are just the New Testament texts: (KJV)

Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come
to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall
rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible,
even the elect.

Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak
well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Acts 13:6 And when they had gone through the isle
unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose
name was Bar-jesus:

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among
the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them,
and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but
try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are
gone out into the world.

Rev. 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Rev. 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him
the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived
them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped
his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with
brimstone.

Rev. 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast
into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet
are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The Bible is filled with warnings so that God's people
will not be deceived by these people masquerading as the oracles of God.
Yet today, sadly, many of God's people have itching ears and are running
as fast as they can to hear the latest "word" from the mouth of one claiming
to be a prophet of our Lord -

This group is espousing the need for the Church to
about "Building Foundations for Revival." They are "mobilizing apostles,
prophets, and intercessors." Dr. C. Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs,
Bill Hamon, John Eckardt will be the prophets/apostles/and teachers leading
this meeting. According to these folks "To accommodate this next move,
God is shifting and establishing His governmental foundation. . .Over the
last 12 years we have seen the voice of the Prophet restored and resounding
in our land. Now the Apostolic office is being renewed and being established
from nation to nation."

The common theme in all of these meetings is basic:

God is in the process of restoring the office of the
prophet and now, apostle, back to the Church.

These two offices form the top echelon of "God's Government"
of the Church.

The Church is incomplete and will not come to maturity
without the divine insights and revelations these "restored" offices will
impart.

Eventually denominational walls will be destroyed and
the "City Church" will come be birthed.

Each city will have one Church ruled by several apostles
& prophets.

These apostles & prophets will receive from God
the "vision" for the City Church

They will transmit this vision in large united city-wide
meetings and also transmit the divine direction through bishops, who in
turn will give it to the local shepherds, who will in turn give it to the
people.

Another common theme:

The Church has, by-in-large, been a failure and must
be "restored" through these offices.

The Church has lost many great truths which are now
being restored to her.

The canon of Scripture is insufficient as a guide for
all faith and practice. We need human prophets to reveal the will of God
for us as individuals and individual churches.

Doctrine divides, little to no orthodox Christian doctrine
is stressed or taught in these meetings.
